Project profile:
This project can be considered a relatively small investment. The project involves the production of polyvinyl acetate dispersion and PVA-based adhesives.
The business plan of the project was developed in collaboration with the Plastopolymer Research Institute in Yerevan, Armenia. The organization has successfully implemented many large projects in the CIS region. Currently, Georgia imports all its polymer glues.
The uniformity of the product, the relatively simple production technology, and the significant water content in the imported goods underline its advantages. The investment required for this project is 0.6 million USD, with a 42% IRR over ten years period.
